County Commissioner

BN John NM. Ayers
The Gilchrist County
Commission listened to County
Attorney John McPherson on
Monday when he advised, the
board to not change the sign
ordinance to allow temporary
signs be placed on public right
of way.
Florida law forbids
campaign signs from being put
on public right of way. If the
board makes an exception to
allow temporary signs to be
erected on public right of way,
this will be difficult to enforce

as well as represent in court,"
McPherson explained.
"How do we establish a true
right of way' line along roads
like County Road 340,"
Commission Chairman Tommy
Langford asked the attorney.
The Gilchrist County Road
Department makes some type of
assessment to base where the
.right of way line is when they
mow along the roadways. This
assessment is used to estimate
where the right of way is
located through a good faith
effort, McPherson added.

"Gilchrist County has limited
resources: to put toward the
enforcement of signs and. code
enforcement. In general if that
were the county policy, to be
fair to enforce all, the public
will be given the benefit of the
doubt, McPherson added.
A commissioner explained
that in Alachua Count), the
larger neighbor to the east, the
county enforces the sign
ordinance in residential and
business districts, but is not. as
strict in the rural areas where
there is less population.
"I think this is something
that every county struggles
with. I think that Gilchrist
County must learn to enforce
the ordinance especially around
the. intersections to keep the
signs from becoming a traffic
problem," McPherson added.
"Where do we still stand?"
Gilchrist Counts Assistant Road
Superintendent Bill) Cannon
asked the board. "Do we pickup
the signs on the right of way or
do we leave them?" Cannon
asked the board. Cannon
explained that some residents
have stopped him and, explained
that they think the removal of
signs from the right of way is an
improvement.
The Road Department was
requested to pickup the metal

Engineer Tells Commission That

Mixing A Good Base On Limerock

Roads Could Be The Difference

In The Longevity Of The Surface

By John M. Ayers
The Gilchrist County Com-
mission discussed how to im-
prove the surface of the 465
miles of limerock rock roads
that is currently providing
transportation corridors to many
people in the rural areas. The
board asked their engineer to
meet with the commission in
their public hearing on Monday,
July 24.
Gilchrist County Commis-
sion Chairman Tommy Lang-
ford asked engineer Lee Mills,
"How can we make our
limerock grades better?"
Mills told the five-member
board that adding limerock to a
road surface might not necessar-
ily improve the roadway over

the long term. "Gilchrist County
historically has added limerock
to the roadway in order to im-
prove the driving surface,"
Mills explained in the public
meeting. When the road begins
to breakdown and potholes cre-
ate craters in the roadway, the
county had always filled in the
holes and tried to grade the sur-
face smooth.
.. Mills told the board the
washboard surface effect is of-
ten caused by a minimum
amount of good road base and
the continued increase of traffic
traveling at a higher rate of
speed than the road surface can
withstand.
The engineer explained to
the board that taking a close

look at the soil maps in the
county and determining the
right mixture for good road base
in that area would produce a
better road. "If the county could
go in and mix or till up to a 12-
inch depth on their road way,
this would give the county a
better road," Mills explained.
He also pointed out that the
county should consider getting
some type of rubber tire roller-
packer to compact the surface
after mixing the road base. He
explained that Levy County has
been able to work with Florida
Rock and get some rock screen-
ings to mix with their road ma-
terial to improve thie surface of

Comments
By: John M. Ayers
On July 28, 1979, I under-
went what I: felt would be a
long-term commitment, but ,I
didn't really know that after 27
years, it would become a way of
life.
Cindy Jo and I were married
July 28, 1979 on what I recall as
one of the. hottest days of my
life, up until Carrie and Adam's
wedding June 24 of this year.
The Lord has, blessed us in
s6 many ways. He has given us
a great family and blessed us
with good families for our chil-
dren to now grow up with' and
become a, part of..
When I look back on the
years that we have, experienced
together, I recall the tough times
we had just getting our children
here. We have gone through a
lot of fun times since then and
our lives are now beginning to-
change again.
On Friday, July 28th, Cindy
Jo and I will be married 27
years. As I remember the his-
tory .over 'this period of time.
..&ere have been so many more
good times, even though we itoo
"hac had our bumps and
bruises. Our years together have
grown on both of us.'
We now look forward to the

weekends ahead' that we can
spend more time with our entire
family. We also look forward to
some vacation time in such lo-
cations as Alaska.
If I had it to do again, I
would not change a thing.

Letter To The Editor
Dear Sir:
I have been a resident of
Gilchrist County, Florida for 27
years. I live in the old Suwan-
nee River Subdivision. We live
.in a virtual dustbowl and would
benefit immensely from having
our roads paved. Please note:
We need our roads paved, NOT
re-paved!
I am curious about the dis-
tribution of the $503.331 owed
to Gilchrist County from the
2006-2007, revenues from the
direct broadband satellite tax. In
years past, any monies owed .to
our county have been distrib-
uted east of Trenton. We have
received nothing!
It would be nice if we could
get our commissioner to try to
get some of that money allocated
to our .Subdivision for road pav-
-'ing. It is long overdue!.. -..- .
Sincerely,
Albert D. Rosenberger
resident of Suwanree River
Subdivision

The mind of man is the battleground for good and
evil. The wise: man said, "As he thinketh in his
heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). The sum of our
character is measured by the thoughts of our heart. It
is not the outward defilement that destroys the spirit
of a man but the inward corruption of a pure heart.
Jesus taught His disciples the nature of true
defilement comes from the heart. "But the things
which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of
the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the
heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries,
fornications, thefts, false witness, railings: these are
the things which defile the man" (Matthew
15:18-20).
The heart is a garden where Satan seeks, to
influence with the thorns and weeds of corruption.
The temptation of Eve (Genesis 3) was accomplished
through the changing of the heart. Jehovah destroyed,
the early world because He "saw that the wickedness
of man was great in the earth, and .that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil continually" (Genesis 6:5). King Solomon's
downfall came when his wives turned his heart away
from God (1 Kinigs 11:3). Rehoboam did not set his
heart to seek Jehovah and was an evil king (2
Chronicles 12:14).
Jesus taught the people how purity of heart would
bring them to the Father "Blessed are the pure in
heart: for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8) and this
required all the heart "Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind" (Matthew 22:37). Salvation is
found in the response of the heart, to the gospel of
Jesus Christ. "The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth,
and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we
preach: because if thou shalt confess with thy

Streetwise
By Lauren Rudd

Is the Federal Reserve ending
its program to .push up interest
rates? Has the economy reached
a utopian era once again?.
From Wall Street's actions last
Wednesday, it would be easy to
draw that conclusion.
Stock prices rallied sharply
after Federal Reserve Chair-
man Ben Beranke soothed-
Wall Street's feathers by stating
that the Fed's current view of
the economy is that economic
growth seems to be moderating
and inflation remains contained.
For Wall Street it was only
a short walk from there to the,
foregone conclusion that the
Fed is ready to end its streak
of interest rate hikes. Although
I hope I am wrong, personally I
would bet on another increase in
rates when the Fed next meets on
August 8th..
To see why, consider that Ber-
nanke, deliberately hedged his
outlook on inflation.
"The recent rise in inflation is
of concern. It is a development
that bears close watching," he
said.
Then there is the issue of the
all important core rate on infla-
tion in last week's release of the
consumer price index (CPI). The
core rate. %which strips out the
volatile food and energy\ sectors,
was up 0.3 percent in June. It
was the fourth consecutive rise
of that magnitude. That means
the core rate has been rising for
the past three months at an annu-
al rate of 3.6 percent, far above
the Federal Reserve's .comfort
zone of 2 percent or less.
It is possible the Fed will pass
on increasing rates in August
since it is unlikely to have the
July CPI data by then. Howe. er,
another rise in the core CPI rate
equal to or exceeding 0.3 percent
and I would put the odds of an-
other rate increase at better, .than
90 percent,
If the Fed passes on an in-
crease in August and the subse-
quent CPI number is bad, it may ,
not wait until its next meeting on'
September 20th to take action.
There is no rule that says rate in-
creases have to come at FOMC
meetings.
So what happens if the Fed
does not raise, rates? That an-
swer is simple, look for a strong
market rally. The opposite sce-
nario is also just as probable. A
'move upward in'rates-will result
in the same temporary sell off of
the market that we saw recently
when Wall Street misjudged Fed,
policy.
Wall Street sells off in the face
of higher interest rates for two
reasons. The most talked about
one is the recognition that higher

mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart
that God raised him from the dead, thou shafi be
saved: for with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation" (Romans 10:8-10).
As the heart is the soil that will receive the .seed of
the word of God, we must take proper action to
prepare the heart. The parable of the sower illustrates,
the importance of a prepared soil (Matthew 13). Peter
admonishes the need for "girding up the loins of
your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on
the grace that is to be brought unto you at the'
revelation of Jesus Christ; as children of obedience,
not fashioning yourselves according to your former
lusts in the time of your ignorance: but like as he
who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in
all manner of living" (1 Peter 1:13-15).
Living holy requires a holy heart. Our minds must
be prepared for action against the influences of the
devil. Girding the mind is to prepare for the assault
from the enemies of God. "For though we walk in
the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (for
the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but
mighty before God to the casting down of
strongholds), casting down imaginations, and every
high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of
God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the
obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
We are the people of God as much as we allow
our minds to be guided by the word of God. As faith
comes from hearing the word of God (Romans
10:17), so our faith is measured by the girding of our
hearts to holiness. Who we are before God is not seen
by the outward reflection but what God sees in the
heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

I do love a hog, how about
you? Don't you just love a slab
of ribs hot off the rack of an old
kettle style grill?
John adds a few pieces of Red'
Bay wood on the charcoal. He
soaks the wood in water so it
does a lot of smoking and
doesn't burn up too fast.
Se% eral years ago I came
across the rib rub that is listed at
the bottom of this column. Fact
is, it would be a nice addition to
a gift basket that included' a big
turning fork, potholder or oven
mitt, and a bottle of barbecue
sauce. You could even add a
barbecue cookbook if you came
across a good one. I suggest the
Jack Daniel's Old Time
Barbecue Cookbook.: No I don't
put a little shot of Jack Daniels
in when I cook. But by and far.
this is my favorite cookbook
when it comes to barbecue. The
photos in this book alone are
worth the $24.00 asking price.
Carrie, my daughter, and I1
were in Jacksonville last
Saturday and we shopped at a
neat grocery store called The
Fresh Market. We both picked
out a beautiful slab of baby
back ribs from the meat case.
The folks at the Fresh Market
wrap their meat in brown paper
and tie it % ith a string once you
pick it out. They don't sell pre-
package meats in this store.
.An u aN, back to mni ribs.
This was a real meaty slab and
Sunda\ after church I decided to
fr\ them. The way m \ family\
fries ribs is. to slice between
each rib and salt and pepper the
meat and then; roll the ribs in
flour. Next we deep-fry them
just as you would fry chicken.
Of course it doesn't take the'

rates will raise corporate ex-
penses and thereby lower profits.
This is partially true. However,
the individual consumer will feel
the pinch of higher rates 'more
than corporations. .
The other factor has to do with
ho%% Wall Street valuess a cor-
poratiom Virtually every model
discounts some variant of cash
flow using the concept of present
value. Raise the interest rate and
the present value falls. What that
means is that as interest rates
rise, Wall Street's models will
produce lower numbers for the
value of a company's shares.
Therefore, the way to manage
your portfolio is to simply ig-
nore the daily price fluctuations,
both positive and negative with
regard to your current portfolio.
Instead, use any major pullback
as an opportunity to pick up
those companies you have been
lusting after but whose shares
have heretofore been too ex-
pensive.

ribs nearly as long to cook as it
does a piece of chicken.
Sometimes when frying pork
ribs if they are real small and
don't have much meat I cut-
them in pieces that have two or'
even three ribs to the piece. If
you haven't ever eaten a fried
baby back rib ou'%Ue missed; a
treat.
Barbecue experts make rubs
to gently rub into 'the meat
several hours before cooking.
The 'rub slowly seeps' in- and
flavors the meat. Then during
cooking-it seals in the natural
juices and flavors. The
following rub recipe comes
from Moore County, Tennessee
and I believe it adds just the
perfect seasoning to a slab of
grilled ribs.

Letter To The Editor
This past May your newspa-
per reported a story from the
Gilchrist Board of County Com-
missioners where I had request-
ed a Golf Cart Ordinance for my
area. Most people thought it was
granted because the Commis-
sioners voted unanimously in
favor. I would like the public to
know the rest of the story. Date
Turner iDavid Turneri. Gilchrist
Counts Sheriff's Department,
opposed the ordinance stating
"the roads were dangerous and,
heavily traveled," therefore
there was no action taken on
the ordinance and I can NOT
legally operate my golf cart, as
requested.
Recently the issue of residents
wanting speed limit signs and
speeds reduced to 35 on graded
roads has not been requested
by the County Commissioners.
Sheriff Turner has opposed the
posting of speed limit signs stat-
ing he does not have the man-
power to enforce these speed
limits. Your newspaper quotes
Sheriff Turner, stating, driving
is a privilege. Everyone with
a license should drive with an
understanding on conditions and
circumstances that are bearable.
Is this economical alternative
a do-it-yourself honor system
where the decision is left to the

driver, giving him a free ticket
to bend the law? Some of these
roads are the same roads the
Sheriff's department labeled as
dangerous and heavily traveled
during the golf cart ordinance
issue.
The safety of people and chil-
dren is important and should be
given top priority. The Sheriff
should find a way to support
the safety recommendations of
the County Commission and do
its job in protecting people and
children. I would like to make
a suggestion. I cannot speak for
the whole Sheriff's Department,
but if the deputies assigned to
District 2, and part of the under-
staffed Law Enforcement De-
partment were to spend less time
adult sitting and crime watching
Senior Resident Citizens and
enforcing traffic control on golf
carts, their expertise could 'be
better utilized, in participation
with the Commission recom-
mendations to protect people
and children.
As developers step into
the Tri-County. area such as
Suwariiee, Horseshoe, and
Steinhatchee old time residents
have to move on. These fishing
towns plus Bell have golf carts
everywhere. Cedar Key has lost
its poor-man's fishing road and
bridge :and soon to be a major
tourist area.
Gilchrist County is the small-
est county in Florida and has
only one traffic light. Do we
need to let developers invade our
area so someone can afford to
fund law enforcement at a level
to protect our community? And
hopefully\ we can have the same
golf cart privileges that everyone
except District 2 seem to already
have in place.

patients. This challenge will be'
especially difficult for me and I
am asking for your support. On
October 22, 2006, I will. be par-
ticipating- in the Nike Womens
NMarathon as parr of thi Team In
Training program to. benefit the
Leukemia and Lymphoma So-
ciey. The goal of this program
is to use long distance running,
walking and cycling as a symbol
of endurance and hope; to raise
money for research; and to cel-
ebrate and commemorate lives
touched by cancer. This will be
my first marathon- and although
,it is 26.2 miles, the distance I
will endure cannot compare to
the struggles that cancer patients
endure every day.
I have been running for over
two months now with a team of
other men and women who will
be participating in this event and
it is going great! I want to make
a difference'in the lives of those
affected by these deadly diseases
by helping to raise money for
further cancer research. I am

problem involving .their roads.
He explained that clay used in
the material on a road is good
and reduces some of the dust.
The engineer recommended
that the board should allow the
road department to conduct
some tests of specific roads to
determine the best method of
mixing and the best materials to
be used in the different areas.

From The
Shelves Of
The, Bell
Library
: We had a nice :surprise last
week; one of our Volunteers,
Mary Jordan, brought in a large
shopping bag of large print
books. One set of books in 'this
group were Thomas Kincade's
new novels. When we hear his
name we always think of the
beautiful paintings .which this
artist has produced but he is an
accomplished writer as you will
see when you read these books
about a little fishing village in
the northeast' If you read the
novels in order it will be like'
meeting the families and con-
tinuing with their lives. But if
they are out bf order, you will
feel that you have got to visit

A\.ers III of Trenton. Mr. Justin
Mizell of Callahan. Mr. Don
Tdnner of Callahan and Mr. Jer-,
emy Reynolds, also of Callahan.
Ring bearer was Jacob Guthrie
of Trenton.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Ayers II of
Trenton. Carrie is the grand-
daughter of Mrs. Doris Beau-
champ of Chiefland and the
late Mr. Lloyd Beauchamp, ST.,
and the late Mr. and Mrs. J, Min,
Ayers. .
The groom is the son of Mr..
and MNrs. CI'de Mizell of Cal-
lahan. Adam is the grandson of'
Mr. and Mrs. Dorman Mizell of
Callahan, and Mr. Bennett Wil-.
son of Clarksville. Tenn. and the
late Mrs. Ex eh n Wilson.
After a honeymoon 'spent in
the South Carolina Lowcountry,
the couple now resides in Cal-
lahan.

and are learning about the events
you have missed.
For the juniors and teenagers,
u e recommend If It Doesn't Kill
You, the storn :*f :lete. fpotball
players in': tniddle school and
high, school., ILeai-)uaf e trials
and misfortunes, their love af-
fairs and triumphs.
Do you remember Hansel and
Gretel an old classic we read
when we were children? That
is the book we will recommend
this week because I believe we
should make. sure our children
read our classics to know what
literature was available to their
parents and grandparents.
Summer is almost over and
soon the schools will begin
another year. We hope we will
have two additional computers
available for research by then.
Volunteers with computer skills
are desperately needed.

Several churches in our area
helped to' make the "Stay at

,cess. Youth from Joppa Baptist
Church, Bronson Road Baptist

volved with several community ,

Ayers had the privilege to
have 10 of the youth from these
churches to help us in our center.
One-on-ones with the residents
were the most important task
for the youth to do. Nail care,
te letter w writing, reading, .or just
talking was an experience for
both the youth and the resident.
Participating in a craft, with the
residents was exciting.
Lofel) flower pens \ ere cre-
ated to put out for use in the
resident's rooms. Book shelves
were gone through and orga-
nized, closets were cleared of the
junk we accumulate over se\ eral
months. A shed \%as emptied
and reorganized and repaired by
the group. Plants were watered
daily on both porches. Thank,
you so much for \our help.
We have to commend those
churches that. participate in this
Worthwhile program. i This was
the second year we had the.
youth groups here for their day
camp. A privilege it was to work
with the young, adults. Keeping.

them all busy was a challenge in
itself. Pizza was delivered on
Wednesday for all that worked
so hard for us.. Thank you to the
churches for sharing their youth
with us this '\eek. Friendships
'were made by young and old.
We hope to see some of them
come back as Junior Volunteers

Remember Our
Troops
God hears the prayers of the
righteous. The importance of.
praying for e% er. one % ho comes
to mind is a special job of all
those who love the Lord. As
the war on terror continues, it is
most necessary that we keep all
military personnel in our prayers.
especially those %%ho are in
harm's way. Keeping the morale
high. as well as staying focused
should be our main concern for
them as '%e at home pray. Take
the job of praying seriously, and
do so without ceasing for those
of our county who are serving in,
the Armed Forces.
The following is a known
list of those who are on act.e

Well, don't say I didn't warn
you...'cause I sure enough did.
I was in Wal-Mart Friday...July
21st...which when I was a'kid
was considered, summer. Not
so anymore. Bathing suits,
swimming pools, garden "stuff"
.and almost everything that even
hinted at being "summerish" was
on sale to make room for back-
to-school paraphernalia...back
packs, notebooks, crayons,
reams of notebook paper, etc.,.
etc., etc.
When I was a kid June was
just a hint of what was yet to
come. Summer really didn't get
off the ground until the fourth
of July. July %was playing in the
hose, going to the A&W root
beer stand, doubld'dip ice cream
cones, and sneaking chunks of
ice off the ice %wagon %while the
ice man carried blocks of ice to
houses w ith cardboard signs in
the window saying how much
the ice box needed.
Jul\ oozed into August \\here.
we languished on porch swings
in the everung sipping on tall
glasses of ice cold lemonade
watching fireflies ",'and even
catching a few. We'd put them
1it' next to our beds in glass jars
ed. w-ith holes punched in the lids.
All night they'd flicker off and-
on like a lamp with bad % tiring,
School didn't start until after
Labor Da\ so we still had oodles
of time to think of school sup-
plies. new\ teachers, and nights
spent doing homework. For
no\\ we could listen to the
radio...Amos and Andy, Fibber
McGee and, Molly, the Green
'Hornet. ITLove A Mystery and
all the great shows. ,
But, not so now.. Everyone
with school-aged kids is doing
the back to school shuffle. What
to buy...what, to wear...what
to say yes to...what to say no
to...it's enough to drive a moth-'
er, oh yes. it's almost always
Mom's job, to eat a half gallon
of ice cream in one sitting.
But, for most of our Joy-
ful Hearts we can sit back, sip
.,our .,ie ,,tea or coffee, smile
and say...been there and done
;i that...and how,: .did -we' ,do !it
without credit cards and cell
phones?
So when eighteen Joyful
Hearts met on Wednesday, July
19th, the last thing on our minds
was back-to-school shopping.
' Our club quilt is :finished and
looked quite cheerful hanging up
for everyone to admire. One. of
the other quilt tops finished was
laid out to be tied so folks could
learn just how to go about that.
Elaine Nemeth, Paulene Martin,
Diana Lynn, and Cathy Strom
finished the whole thing off in
no time. They were all laughing,
and giggling so much that when
they finished I said it-was appro-
priate to say they had really tied
one on....the quilt that is.
Alice Binns, Heidi Kamnp, and
eventually Cathy Strom busied
themselves with their Swed-
ish weaving. Bonnie Edwards
planned to work on hers but
couldn't seem to get it in gear.
SLera Townsend, Ann Taylor
and I all worked on our embroi-
dery. It sure seems to go slow
but let's face it, there's' a lot of
chit-chat going on. Marvine
Deer kept herself busy cutting
more squares for lap robes. I
believe we have about thirty
finished. Our goal was fifty so
we should not only reach it but
exceed it.
Matty Turner, Myrle Gilkey,
and Ruth Wilkerson were all cro-
cheting while Barbara Myrick
worked her lap quilt square.
Mary Lou Ryder, Barbara
Strom, Ann Mangone, and I
Believe Evelyn Wood quilted on
the one on the frame. Our next
club quilt is going to be "Joy-
ful Hearts." The background
squares will be a light lavender
and everyone will design their
own square(s) using some sort
of heart...crocheted, embroi-
dered, appliqued, whatever your
"heart" desires, so to speak.
If you're up to date with your
lap quilt square, which I'm not,
you should be finishing up July's
"Split Nine Patch" and ready to
start August's Contrary Wife.
Our next "Make It and Take
It" which has been changed to
"Make It and Give It" will be
Wednesday, July 26th. The next
regular meeting will be Wednes-
day, August 2nd. We hope to
see some of you that have been

AWOL at that meeting.
We had two July birthdays
Barbara Myrick and Leona
I Wirta. Leona was not present
and Barbara left early, without a
word, so we didn't have anyone

to sing to but we sure ate their
chocolate fudge nut cake...with
ice cream of course.
As usual, we had grace, ate,
cleaned up, and drifted out in the
stifling heat and headed home.
We have so much for which
to be thankful and 'the rain
we've had of late has truly been
a blessing. Even though we
all want all of it to fall on our
place we are grateful it's falling
anywhere....praise the Lord. .
And speaking of .being
thankful...through the years God
has blessed me %with so many
wonderful and dear friends that
have enriched my life in so many
wavs and Evelyn Wood is one of
them.
When I first met E\ ely n, after
we bought "A Quiet Place," she
was my nature encyclopedia
Whatever flower, berry, bush,
bird, snake, insect, butterfly,
critter, 'etc. I came across,' Ev-
elyn knew what it ~N as, where it
!ied, and what it ate. She made
mistern dishes and was alhwals
willing to share. She shared her
craft ideas, her quilting talents,
her time and her faith.
Eyelyn is so interesting and
has led an interesting life. She
and her siblings xere born in
Africa and I believe she \\as
about. twelve or thirteen when
she came to the United States.
He parents were missionaries as
were their parents
The other side of her family
ntee is quite artistic and it has
been passed on to Evelyn and
others in the family. Evelyn
also %%rites quite well and has
great stories to share.
What she shared %%ith us on
W\ednesda', was a lovely old
quilt made by her \ery talented
grandmother Each square
holds an appliqued flower that
her grandmother drew the pat-
terns for. The quilt was coin-
pleted in 1934. You can feel the
'love that went into each stitch.
She gave the quilt to Evelyn as
a wedding gift.
She also shared with us the
most' exquisite paintings' and
drawings done by lher grand-
mother. She. worked in oils.
ink, watercolor...evertihing.
The ones that depicted chil-
dren's nursery rhymes were
beyond description.
We thank you. Evelyn, for
sharing such precious pieces
and memories from your child-
hood. It is a blessing that God,
brings others into our-lives to
wea\e together the threads of
our experiences making a warm
blanket of friendship to wrap
ourselves in when the world
seems cold and lonely. We are
blessed indeed. 'Til next time.
A Joyful Heart

The Gilchrist County School District will soon
consider a measure to increase its property tax levy.

Last year's property tax levy

A. Initially proposed tax levy

B. Less tax reductions due to
Value Adjustment Board
and other assessment changes

C. Actual property tax levy

This year's proposed property tax levy

$ 3,714,791.00

$ 24,520.00

$ 3,690,271.00

$ 4,563,695.00

A portion of the tax levy is required under state law in order
for the school board to receive $13,280,394 in state education
grants. The required portion has increased by 14.54 percent,
and represents approximately six tenths of the total proposed
taxes.

The remainder

of the taxes is

proposed

solely at the

discretion of the school board.

All concerned citizens are invited to a public hearing on the
tax increase to be held on Tuesday, August 1, 2006, at 5:15
p.m. at the Gilchrist County School Board Meeting Room
located at 310 NW 11th Avenue, Trenton, Florida 32693.

A DECISION on the proposed tax increase and the budget will be made at this hearing.

Log. Cabin Quilters met-
Thursday, July 20th at the Levy
County Quilt Museum. Quilting
went on the Log Cabin and Dres-'
den Plate but several took care
of boxes of crafts, fabric, and.
what have you that was brought
in. We have so much given to
us and each member can make
what she is best at. We appreci-
ate all that comes in. Some won-
der why we sell for the upkeep
of the museum but all it takes is
our time. Sometimes we start
projects and wonder when it will

Sbe finished and then one day we
have it all done.
We had 14 ladies from Crystal
River, come up and spend time
with us. They brought all kinds
of food and with our pot luck we
had. a great day. u
There will be an auction here
sometime ini August. We'll let
you know more about it later.
We did this for a year when we
were building the Museum.
. Greg and six boys were out
Tuesday to do so much. We
know it. won't be long until the
grass will stop growing but we
will always need them out here.

Congratulations to all of our.
schools for earning the des-
ignation of "A" schools. Our
students, teachers, support staff,
and administrators 'combined'
their efforts to become the first
school district .in Florida for
all of its schools to earn "A's.",
Gilchrist schools, over the.years, .
have been recognized for our
academic excellence. Teachers,
administrators, superintendents,
and school board members, past
g and present, have had a hand .
e in this achievement and, need
. to be recognized afid thanked.
Gilchrist school boards have
always been proactive and sup-
ported our schools in "thinking
outside the box."' Our schools
are known for being the first to
use many teaching -innovations
and for a wide variety of techni-
cal and academic programs.
'For earning all "A's", our,
schools will receive $203,000
in School Recognition dollars.
This will be di\ ided among our
teachers and staff.' Congratula-
tions!!!
While our teachers labor in-
tensely in the classroom, the at-
tainment of being the NUMBER
ONE school district in Florida
was a team effort. Each and
'every department worked hard
to fulfill its mission of support-
ing student.achievement. I want
to thank" each of them for their
efforts e, transportation' 6Qd
Services, Management Infor-
mation Systems, Human Re-
sources, Technology, Finance,
Maintenance, District Support,
Personnel, and our school, based
support personnel. Thank you
for your dedication and hard
work in supporting our students.
Another group that deserves
a pat on the back is our PAR-
ENTS. Thank you for support-
ing our teachers: and adminis- .
trators in their efforts to help
your child. With the opening
of school only a few days away,
we will again need your help. It
is critically important that your
child be in school; A child that
misses 10 days of school loses
about 65 hours of instruction.
Please try to schedule all doctor
and dentist appointments after
school. Please make sure that
your child gets eight hours of
sleep each night, and has a good
breakfast to start the day. We
encourage you to contact your
child's teachers or administra-
tors when you have, questions
about your child's performance.

tion about this event or would
like to participate in this event
please contact Donna Creamer at

RSVP's by August 25, 2006
The. 'Gilchrist County Char-
acter trait for the month of July
presented by the Character First
Council is: "Teacher" ... (defini-
tion) Imparts wisdom, matu-
rity, and skill to others."

We expect your child to behave
while at school.
The numbers of students par-
ticipating in our technical-vo-
cational programs substantially
increased this year. Academic
expectations are the same as in
our college-bound programs.
It is very important that all
students graduate with read-
ing, writing, math, and science
skills if they are to find jobs in
a world economy that is highly
competitive. Research shows
that students in technical fields
must have a higher reading abil-
ity than those in a college bound
program.
Our,students 'will have two
new programs to. choose from'
this coming school, year. At,
Bell High, we will open a new
Practical Careers Academy, and
at Trenton High, we will open
the Engineering & Construction
Academy. Added to our current
array of academies and technical
programs, this gives our high
school students a broad choice.
For a school district with only
750 students in grades 9-12, this
is tremendous.
Our district has always, in-
vested in technology for our-
classrooms. This year we,
asked a team of teachers to, at-
tend 'a technology conference
and put together a "Wish" list
of what it would take to make
our classrooms technology
friendly. All of the new tech-
nology had to support increased
student achievement. The team
proposed a three year plan and
presented it to the School Board.
The Board approved the plan,
and the new equipment has been
ordered. We hope it will ambe
in time to be installed in our
classrooms before school starts.
One important component the
teachers wanted was increased
training in the use of technol-
og) in presenting their lessons.
This training has been arranged,
and in addition we will add two
Teacher Training Centers for,
our staff. The first one will be
at Bell High. and will be in use
this % ear. The second will be at
Trenton High, and will be ready
next school year. Both will be
used by all of our employ ees for
training and for personal'devel-
opment. ,
Last year we started a' 90%
Reading Initiative in our Pre k'
3 classrooms. The results wer^
great. This Initiative was sup'-
ported by the Superintendent's
Gala, which was held in Octo-
ber, and raised $15,000 to sup-
port bur young readers. Please
make plans now to attend and
supporti the Superintendent's
Gala in October 2006, and again
help our young readers.

Hurricanes' Latent
Hazards Tracked By
Poison Centers
With the start of this year's
hurricane season Thursday
(June 1), Florida's residents are
preparing for the all-too-familiar
havoc the' storms can wreak.
But hurricanes cause more
than flooding, high winds and
power outages they also spawn'
public health hazards that often
aren't evident until days after
winds die and storm waters
recede.
Now, after fine-tuning it for.
the past two hurricane seasons,'
a University of Florida toxi-
cologist and state Department of
Health officials have pioneered a
real-time system for monitoring
storm-related public health haz-
ards, including carbon monox-
ide inhalation and contaminated
food and water supplies.
Using electronic data from
Florida's Poison. Information
Center Network hotline, the,
experts designed a surveillance
system to identify public health
threats and make this informa-
tion readily available over the
Web to state health department
epidemiologists. 11
Florida health officials, for
example, were able to track 200
percent to 300 percent spikes in
carbon monoxide and gasoline
poisonings related to generator
use after Hurricanes Katrina and
Wilma niade landfall last year
in Florida. according to data
recently) published in the Centers
for Disease Control and Preven-
tion's Morbidity and Mortality
Weekly Report. .
The CDC adopted the Florida
model and used -data provided
by the American Association
of Poison Control Centers to
monitor other hurricane-prone
coastal areas, including Gulf
Coast regions in the aftermath
of Katrina.
S"The primary benefit is that
you're not waiting and reporting
on things that happened three
days ago; you're seeing some-
thing and interacting in real time
to stop it," said study co-author
Jay Schauben, Pharm.D., a UF
clinical professor of emergency
medicine and pharmacy and
director of the Florida Poison In-
formation Center-Jacksonville.'
"'The quicker you can identify .a
problem, the faster, you, can fo-
cus your attention, the'more in-.
dividuals you might spare doing
the wrong thing which gets them
into trouble, health-wise. And I
think that's the concept here."
For example, higher-than-nor-
mal reports of gastrointestinal
distress in a small geographic
area may indicate problems
with a municipal water supply,
allowing health officials to warn
residents to switch to bottled wa-
ter until the local water source is
'cleared.
Florida Department of Health
officials started reviewing data
collected by the Florida Poison
Information Center Network
during the 2004 hurricane sea-
son. In 2005 the agencies began
monitoring poison control center
records daily to see if any were
connected to storm-related
health hazards.
"We monitored these hazards
using a sophisticated, Web-based
data-gathering system we al-
ready had in place here that was
originally designed to character-
ize epidemiological information
- the incidence and spread of dis-
ease for our statewide poison
control centers," Schauben said.
"Now this same system provides
valuable real-time information
and surveillance to identify pub-
lic health threats left in the wake
of hurricanes."
Created by the Florida Leg-
islature in 1989, the network
includes three poison control
centers in Miami, Tampa and
Jacksonville. Health profes-
sionals and the public can call
the network via the nationwide
4-hour, toll-free telephone
"POISON HELP" hotline, 1-
800-222-1222. Poison informa-
tion specialists at each center
gather exposure and substance
information from callers and
enter it into a local database that
is then uploaded within seconds
to a statewide database, housed
at the Jacksonville site. During
the 2005 hurricane season, state
health officials monitored expo-
sure to carbon monoxide, hy-

drocarbon fuels, batteries, fire,
matches and explosives, stings,
snake bites, contaminated water
and food poisoning. They com-
pared exposures from 30 days
before and up to one week after a
hurricane's landfall. The system
provides a collaborative, online
reporting system, displaying sur-
veillance graphs,and Geographic
Information .Systems mapping
data with hour-to-hour updates
that can be accessed in the of-
fice or on a laptop in a car, in an
airport or in the field. Health of-
ficials rely on spikes in the data

to help identify health-hazard
incidences. "Data spikes provide
clues and allow us to zoom in
on something exactly when it's
happening in a certain location,"
said Schauben, adding that the
system allows users to track
patients' names and addresses
and then alert the nearest local
health department of the inci-
dent. "For example, we'll tell
the local health department that
we've had five carbon monoxide
cases in a certain area in the past
24 hours and ask them to get out
there and educate the people
about generators," Schauben
said. Operating generators in
enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas can lead to carbon mon-
oxide poisoning. Twenty-eight
incidents of carbon monoxide
exposure were reported to the
network in the two days after
Hurricane Katrina made landfall
in Florida. "A couple of weeks
after a hurricane hits. people
start running out of gas because
of gas shortages.," Schauben
added. "When we saw data
spikes for inhalation of gasoline,
w e stepped up our messages
about using proper siphoning
equipment."
Department of Health epide-
miologist Robyn Kay said that
using a real-time. pre-existing
sentinel surveillance system

increases state health officials'
ability to detect public health
hazards and prevent deaths.
"Still, during emergencies and
times of distress it's just as im-
portant for Floridians to think'
with a clear mind about how
to approach each situation as it,
is for them to have emergency
plans to help ensure their safety
before, during and after the
storm," she said.
Schauben said he sees a future,
for the system in other states.
"Poison control centers are the
only entities in the country that

have an infrastructure, to share
data between 64 centers (the
number of centers in the United
States) in real time," he said.
"We detect it, we see it and we
move on it."

The March Of Dimes
New Fundraiser Will
Be Mission Possible
The March of Dimes North
Central Florida Division is gear-
ing up for its fall fundraiser,
Mission Possible.
Mission Possible challenges
anyone to raise money to help
in the fight to save babies from
premature birth.
In the Tri-County area alone,
almost 800 babies are born each
year. Over 100' of them will
be premature and face a long
battle for survival. The March
of Dimes goal is for every baby,
regardless of gender, race or
ethnicity, to make it the full 40
weeks. However, the Mission
can only succeed with the help
of individuals or groups like
you.
The Mission is simple, con-
tact NCFL Division, Assistant
Director, Betsy Trent at (352)
378-9522 ,or e-maila her at
btrent@marchofdimes.com. and
say "I want to join the Mission to
save babies." Or, if you would,
like to just make a donation, do
the same and say "I want to do-
nate to the Mission "
Then you will recei've.a packet
that includes the background of
March of Dimes, ho" the mis-
sion works, and examples of.
some fundraisers,. .. ,
Fundraising is completely up
to you. You can follow a few
.ideas, from the packet or come
up with your own wacky idea.
Some groups in the past held
yard sales, chicken dinners, and
fishing tournaments. Whatever
you do, do it for the babies, and
let everyone know you are a part,
of the Mission.
More than businesses or or-
ganizations can help fight in the
Mission. Families who have
suffered the effects of premature
birth or know someone who has

The March of Dimes began in
1938 by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt. At the time the goal
was to find a cure for polio, and
it happened with. the support of
those like you.
"While we fight this global
war, we must see to it that the
health of our children is pre-
served and protected so that they
may enjoy that better world-for
tomorrow's America will be as
strong as today's children. We
must help them win their vic-
tory over disease today," said
Roosevelt in 1942, and it still
applies today. Premature birth is
ten times the epidemic that polio
was, affecting 500,000 babies
each year.
The March of Dimes is a
voluntary health agency whose
mission is to improve the health
of babies by preventing birth de-
fects, premature births and infant
-mortality. Founded in 1938, the
March of Dimes funds programs
of research, community sert ices,
education and advocacy to save
babies. For more information,

Springhouse Quilters
News
Springhouse quilters held their
monthly meeting on July 11th.
The meeting opened with a time
of refreshments and fellowship.
The members are always excited
to visit with their quilting friends
and share their activities for the
previous month.
There was plenty of sho%% and
tell of projects finished since the
June meeting. The highlight of
the meeting was a display by five
members showing the blocks,
.they designed depicting a card.
from a deck of regular playing
cards.. The cards designed %were'
*made to represent a card they se-
lected, sight unseen, from a deck
of cards. Dee Gay. special proj-
ects chairperson, was in charge
of the deck of cards challenge.
Springhouse members are
working on their community
project for this year which will
be a lap or a child's quilt. The
lap quilts will be donated to a
nursing' home and 'the child's
quilt will be given to children
in need of comfort from a trau-
matic experience.
The 2006 4-H sewing-quilt-
ing camp is now history. There
were three camps this year with
approximately 30 young ladies
participating. The desire of
Springhouse quilters is to instill
in these young ladies the desire
to., continue sewing-quilting
long after the camp has ended
and that they one day might be-
come members of Springhouse
Quilters.

Some Medicare
Beneficiaries Can
Still Enroll In New
Prescription Drug
Program Without
Penalty
If you qualify for extra help,
with Medicare prescription drug
costs, you can still sign up for
a Medicare Prescription Drug

2006. The special enrollment
period for beneficiaries who are
also eligible for extra help runs

they have limited income and"
resources. The extra help can

prescription co-payments under
the new prescription drug pro-
gram, and it could be worth an
average of $3,700 per year.
You may qualify for the extra

Our thoughts and our prayers are with you all as
you travel.
This softball team from Bell is inspiring to every-
one. These girls have not only worked hard on the
field, but off as well. These girls are adept to 100
weather. I've been to their car wash and BBQ dinners
as they work in this heat. These girls are the epitome
of team work. They know, no one girl or coach alone
can make this a winning team. It takes everyone
working together. It also takes community involve-
ment.
Even though these girls are presently on the road,
they will still take donations. Call Chris Sanders
(352) 318-9505. Either' way the tournament goes,
these girls will still be a winning team. Let us all
learn from their team work.
It also takes team work to make 4 'A' schools. Not
only principals, teachers, aids, workers, and stu-
dents, it also takes an active working Board for a
structured support system. There again, ultimately
it take community involvement.
Get out and vote. Elect Lucy Swilley for Gilchrist
County School Board District 1.
Like these girls I will work hard on and off campus.
I will step-up to the plate to make educated informed
decisions.

Governor Bush
Awards Rural
Development Grant
To The Dixie-
Gilchrist-Levy
Tourism
Development Board
Governor Jeb Bush awarded
a $35,000 Regional Rural De-
velopment Grant to the Dixie-
Gilchrist-Levy Tourism Devel-
opment Board for its regional
tourism program. "Florida's
Pure Water Wilderness." Cre-
ated in 2000, the board was
established as a result of a pilot
project overseen by the Gover-
nor's Office of Tourism, Trade,
and Economic Development and
continues to be a successful tool
for promoting rural and nature-
based tourism.
"Since its creation, the Di-
xie-Gilchrist-Le~y Tourism De-

velopment Board has achieved
remarkable success in promot-
ing tourism and recreation. I am
pleased to support their progress
through our regional rural devel-
opment grants," said Governor
Bush. "Tourism is an important
. component of the region's econ-
omy and contributes to Florida's
robust economic growth."
The "Florida's Pure Water
Wilderness" project is com-
prised of a 2,000 square mile,
three-county cluster of pristine
lakes, ponds, creeks, springs,
rivers and ocean. The tri-county
board has successfully leveraged
support from state partners, in-
cluding VISIT FLORIDA and
the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission, to
enhance its. tourism campaign.
The Partnership is considered a
model for rural tourism detelop-
ment organizations throughout
the state.

"We are very grateful to Gov-
ernor Bush for his continued ef-
forts in the Rural Areas of Criti-
cal Economic Concern," said
Donna Creamer, Executive'Di-
rector for Dixie-Gilchrist-Levy
Tourism Development Board.
"We are committed to energeti-
cally promoting Florida's Pure
Water Wilderness and enhancing
tourism's positive impact on our
region."

In April 2003, Governor Bush
designated a fourteen county
region in north Florida that in-
cludes the tri-county region of-
Dixie, Gilchrist, and Levy as the
state's third "Rural Area of Criti-
cal Economic Concern."

What does Delight Curtis stand for?
When I first thought of this question, I thought that this would be easy.
As I began writing down my thoughts, it became apparent to me that
looking at one's self from the inside is a very hard thing to do.
I know that I am an honest, positive and .caring individual that has a
passion for enjoying life, family and a feeling of making a difference.

How do I say that so that so it does not sound trite or conceited? I have
to say it with meaning and showing it in my everyday actions.
Throughout my 38 years in the corporate community, I have been
involved in policy-makling, research and development of programs, design and implementation of
procedures, supervisory and managerial duties. These tasks have given me the opportunity to be a
problem sol er, a \ isionary and a go to person. My employers have always considered me as a "can
do" person and I feel that I will be there for you, the community, to answer your questions and
follow up on all of your concerns. Give me the opportunity to be there for you.
Vote for Delight Curtis, School Board Member District I on September 5, 2006.

Citizens
Committee For The
Right To Keep And
Bear Arms
Gov. Bush Gets It Right,
Says Ccrkba; Armed Citizens
Reduce Crime
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush "nailed
it" when he told reporters in
Tallahassee in reaction to the
state's drop in crime- that armed
citizens are part of the equation,
the Citizens Committee for the
Right to Keep and Bear Arms
(CCRKBA) said today.
Gov. Bush was quoted in the
Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
noting, "Law abiding citizens
that have guns for protection
actually probably are part of the
reason we have a lower crime
rate."
Florida is one of 40 states with
"right-to-carry" statutes that give
citizens the ability to carry con-
cealed handguns with the proper
license. Last year, Florida also
passed legislation that enables
citizens to "stand their ground"
and fight back when attacked in
a public place where they have a
right to be.

"Gov. Bush has once again
demonstrated progressive think-
ing, and a clear understand-
ing about what works to stop
criminals in their tracks," said
CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gott-
lieb. "Legally-armed citizens are
a threat to nobody but criminals,
and Florida's crime statistics
prove that the presence of fire-
arms in the hands of law-abiding
citizens benefits the entire com-
munity. In explaining why crime
rates have dropped, we think
Gov. Bush nailed it."
"Isn't it ironic," added CCRK-
BA Executive Director Joe Wal-
dron, "that while Florida, with
an armed citizenry, is enjoying
a drop in crime, Washington,
D.C., where citizens are legally
disarmed, is experiencing a
crime epidemic? In the nation'.s
capitol, where the Second
Amendment has been literally
suspended" by municipal gov-
ernment fiat, armed assaults are
up 18 percent in the past month
and robberies, have jumped 14
percent. Yet law-abiding citizens
cannot arm themselves for pro-
tection. It's an outrage."
"No matter where they live,"

ugustS

Gottlieb concluded, "American
-citizens have a right to defend
themselves. Progressive states
like Florida with sensible con-
cealed carry and self-defense
laws will lead this nation out
of the Dark Ages of insane
.gun control and broken justice
systems. This new data shows
that the gun control and crimi-
nal rights extremists have been
wrong, something we've known
all along." .
With more than 650,000 mem-
bers and supporters nationwide,
the Citizens Committee for the
Right to Keep and Bear Arms
(www.ccrkba.org) is one of
the nation's premier gun rights
organizations. As a. non-profit
organization, the Citizens Com-
mittee is dedicated to preserving
firearms freedoms through ac-
tive lobbying of elected officials
and facilitating grass-roots'orga-
nization of gun rights activists in
local communities throughout
the United States.

Bright Futures
Medallion Scholars
Can Now Attend
Florida Community
Colleges Tuition Free
New Florida Law Offers
100 Percent Scholarships
For Tuition And Fees At All
Of Florida's 28 Community
Colleges
Community Colleges and
Workforce Education Chancel-
lor :David. Armstrong recently
announced that the Florida Com-
munity College System (FCCS).
can now offer reimbursement
for 100-percent of tuition, and
fees for Bright Futures Medal-
lion scholars at each of the

state's 28 community colleges.
This represents an increase over
the 75-percent reimbursement
policy in years past.' The legis-
lation benefits both current and
new Medallion scholars.
"This new legislation will
create even greater access to
higher education- for many of
Florida's students," said Chan-.
cellor Armstrong.: "Providing
the Medallion scholars with an
opportunity to receive a quality
community college education
without having to worry about
the cost of tuition and fees is an
incredible foot in the door for
them to achieve the career and
lifestyle they desire."
New legislation, signed by
Governor Jeb Bush to become
effective July 1, will expand op-
portunities for Florida's Bright
Futures Scholarship program
and supports Florida's long-
standing two plus two system.
The legislation, approve ed during
the recent 2006 Florida Legisla-
tive session, enables Florida
Medallion Scholars, eligible
high school graduates with a 3.0
grade point average, to recei. e
free tuition and fees if they at-
tend aFlorida public commuriity
.college and enroll in courses
--toward an associate degree.
Under previous legislation.
Bright: Futures scholarships
paid 75-percent of tuition for
NMedallion scholars whether they
attended a community college or
state university. Medallion stu-
dents now have a greater incen-
tive to enroll at one of Florida's
28 community colleges.
The new legislation will re-
"mo'e all financial barriers for
medallion scholarship students
to go to any community col-

lege in the state; thus allowing
the first two years of their post-
secondary education to be fully
underwritten. These students
could then transfer to a state
university and finish their final
two years using the 75-percent
Bright Futures scholarship."
Florida's community colleges
are gearing up to inform high
school students of this new op-
tion and to handle the applicants..
Many institutions are holding
special events this summer to
allow priority registration and
tours for the Medallion students.
The Florida Community Col-
lege-System, through its Foun-
dation for Florida's Community
Colleges and in partnership with
the Florida Lottery and the
Florida Cable Telecommunica-
tions Association, is launching
a public service campaign'to
alert Floridians to the 'change.
The campaign, to begin July 1,
will include telex vision and radio
public service announcements,
which encourages interested stu-
dents to log on to cwwv.fldoe.org
or contact their local community
college for more information..
The Florida Bright Futures.
Scholarship Program was cre-
ated in 1997 by the Florida

Gilchrist Commission
Still Considering
Reduction Of Speed
Limit On Some
County Roads
The Gilchrist County Com-
mission discussed further in
detail the possibility of chang-
ing the speed limits on some

county graded roads from 55 to
35 miles per hour.
Commissioner Kenrick
Thomas told the board that he is
committed to the continued
work to change the speed limits,
on some roads to make them
safer for the people living in
those areas.
Commission Chairman
Tommy Langford presented the

board some information that he
had received from Sheriff
Turner identifying a Florida
Department of Transportation
study that indicated the county
could not change the speed limit
to 35 miles per hour county
wide.
The board gave the DOT
Study to the attorney and asked
him to review the information
. and give the board a report in
the next general meeting.

Character
Connection For July
As we continue our study on
particular character traits, it is
necessary to keep in mind the
full meaning of each. In this
distinctive series, and for those
who are sincerely interested, it
is noted that the last article high-
lighted a somewhat different
attribute, rather than the usual
ones, which-are focused more on
the silent qualities of individu-
als. That quality was visionary.
This month our concentration,
is on that of teacher. This calling
is one in which someone imparts
wisdom, maturity and skill to
others, while validating direc-
tion and ensuring completeness.
As one who instructs and gives
knowledge to the learner, a
teacher impresses upon the mind
certain principles of instruction
in academic or practical disci-
Splines. To teach implies a send-
ing. passing, communicating, or
rather leading or drawing the
scholar into greater knowledge.
Parent's are a child's first in-
structor. It is their duty to guide
their child's mind ,.by teaching
practical skills and principals of
morality. As the child grows. it
is up to the parents as to who will
act as an extension.of that teach-
ing, that instructing. Because
parents are the child's first .role
models they should be \erN cau-
tious as to ~\ho %\ill be the next.
teacher beyond the boundaries
of the home, for it is the parents
who are ultimately responsible
for a child's education.
A teacher is a preceptor who
-conveys knowledge; one who
gives direction and order. A
student, who is open to learning,
receives knowledge by way of
an instructor's profession and is
willing to be informed. As one
learns- from a teacher one can
gain understanding so instruc-
tion from affliction, which can
be harsh, will not come.
A naturally gifted teacher will
try wa's to give students infor-
mation which will make them
familiar with the subject., and
perhaps so familiar that they will
be able to impart that learned
knowledge onto. others. An
excelletit teacher counsels titid
directs in the way the student
'should go, while assisting the
student in becoming a life-long
learner. A person called to be a
teacher will accomplish goals in
the tininds of others, even if there
is no pay involved, for money is
'not the object of a true teacher;
their goal is to increase knowl-
edge so that the student will not
be afraid to stand alone for what
is right and honest.
Gilchrist County is blessed to
have many wonderfully gifted
teachers. As they continue in
their roles revealing other great
character qualities, all of the
county's citizens will continue
to realize that Gilchrist "is a
county of character because it's
a county that cares.
